fastkml 0.11

Fastkml is a library to read, write and manipulate KML files. It aims to keepit simple and fast (using lxml_ if available). Fast refers to the time youspend to write and read KML files as well as the time you spend to getaquainted to the library or to create KML objects. It aims to provide all ofthe functionality that KML clients such as `OpenLayers<http: openlayers.org=""/>`_, `Google Maps <http: maps.google.com=""/>`_, and`Google Earth <http: earth.google.com=""/>`_ provides.

Geometries are handled as pygeoif_ or, if installed, shapely_ objects.

You can find all of the documentation for FastKML at `fastkml.readthedocs.org<https: fastkml.readthedocs.org="">`_. If you find something that is missing,please submit a pull request on `GitHub <https: github.com="" cleder="" fastkml="">`_with the improvement.

Install========

You can install the package with ``pip install fastkml`` or ``easy_installfastkml`` which should also pull in all requirements.

Requirements-------------

* pygeoif_* dateutils_

Optional---------

* lxml_* shapely_

You can install all of the requirements for working with FastKML by usingpip_::

pip install -r requirements.txt

.. note::

Shapely_ requires that libgeos be installed on your system. ``apt-get install libgeos-dev`` will install these requirements for you on Debian- based systems.

Limitations===========

*Tesselate*, *Extrude* and *Altitude Mode* are assigned to a Geometry orGeometry collection (MultiGeometry). You cannot assign different values of*Tesselate*, *Extrude* or *Altitude Mode* on parts of a MultiGeometry.

Currently, the only major feature missing for the full Google Earth experienceis the `gx extension<https: developers.google.com="" kml="" documentation="" kmlreference#kmlextensions="">`_.This will most likely be added after the 1.0 version release.

You can find the complete list of current issues on `GitHub<https: github.com="" cleder="" fastkml="" issues="">`_.
